Scott leans in and forces an unexpected kiss on Marissa. She asks what he is
doing and he replies, “what I’ve wanted to do since the day we met.” Marissa is
shocked and immediately Scott jumps to the conclusion that she did not want him
to kiss her.

Emma is on her secret “Annie phone” telling her mother that since Kendall is in
trouble she can stop lying to Ryan. Annie tells her that Kendall will be
“punished” and she did such a good job. Emma says that she didn’t see Kendall
shoot Stuart and Annie tells her she has to forget what she actually saw. Adam
asks Annie who she is on the phone with just as Ryan catches Emma on the phone
and asks whom she is talking to.

Erica will not let Liza see Kendall and fires her. Erica says a better attorney
would have kept her out of prison. Liza tries to explain that Kendall confessed
but Erica does not budge and tells her to go.

The Guard at the prison gives a note to Kendall in the cell and says it is from
her Mom.

Kendall is seeing Zach as he says “Welcome home.” She stares in disbelief and
looks confused. She tells Zach she does not understand. Zach explains that the
“safe room” was built to keep them safe from his father. Kendall says she still
doesn’t understand and Zach tells her she is “right where you need to be, with
me and your boys. You’ll never leave us.”

Marissa is still stunned while Scott is now a cross between angry and defeated.
Marissa tries to tell him she was not expecting the kiss and that she likes him.
Scott says no one ever likes him other than as a friend. He is the shoulder to
cry on or the “occasional hookup.” Marissa claims she would never do that. “And
you’d never fall for me, because I am not J.R.” strikes a cord with Marissa and
she claims Krystal said the same thing. She wants to know why everyone thinks
she is in love with J.R. Scott leaves the room but before he does he says “call
me when you need that shoulder to cry on.”

Ryan is asking where Emma got the cell phone and she looks like she may be
shutting down on him again. She is saved by the bell as Jesse is at the door.
Ryan thanks him for coming and as Jesse tries to talk to Emma she runs into
another room. Ryan explains he suspects the phone is from Annie and he will be
back after tucking Emma in. He tells Jesse to listen to the voice mail as he
walks out of the room.

Annie is trying to explain to Adam why she had to talk to Emma. Adam says he
knows she misses Emma and she will have her back “sooner than you think.” The
doorbell rings and Annie answers it while still wearing her bikini. Dr. Nolan
stands there as Annie exclaims, “let’s see how crazy I am today, shall we?” As
the two leave the room Adam calls and speaks with Judge Robinson. He mixes small
talk with the fact that he is in love, however she in is a little trouble.

Annie tries to seduce Dr. Nolan by playing coy that the air conditioning is out.
He says he is not bothered and asks how she feels about Kendall going to jail
and the fact that everyone accused Annie of the crime. Annie says she can
forgive, that she is happy; she finally has a man “who understands me.”

Liza informs Erica she cannot fire her since Zach hired her. Erica says she
cares about her daughter and not Zach’s “one night stand” decision. The Guard
appears and says Kendall refuses to see her. Erica argues with the Guard as Liza
tells her she cannot control everything and to accept that Kendall does not want
to see her.

Zach tried to explain to Kendall that the “drugs are wearing off.” She asks what
he is talking about as he asks what she remembers about after the courtroom.
Kendall says Jesse took her to the van, Jesse led her to a corridor. Slowly she
remembers being at the house and asking why she was there. In a series of
flashbacks Kendall sees a figure that looks like Kendall and then Jesse covering
her mouth with a rag to drug her. She looks at Zach in disbelief and says “you
had Jesse drug me?” Zach says “it was the only way.” She can not believe Jesse
went along with it and fears a manhunt. Zach tells her there will not be a
manhunt, “Kendall Hart Slater is in prison right now serving her time.”

Ryan comes back to Jesse and says Emma is talking, he looks relieved that she
has not completely shut down. Jesse says “Annie did quite a bit of talking
herself. Twenty-five messages, one week.” They speculate how the phone got there
as Ryan says Annie called the house once but she said she just wanted to tell
Emma she and Adam were engaged. Jesse had not know this news and claims that
“man must have a death wish.” Ryan wants this to go as proof that Annie violated
the Court Order. Jesse says that it may not be enough as she wanted to talk to
her daughter. Ryan asks when it will be enough?

Liza goes to Marissa’s room and tells her that Kendall will not see her. Marissa
asks why they would do an appeal if Kendall confessed? Liza says Kendall did not
do it and she has to do it for her career. Liza says she can’t make Zach’s
sudden disinterest in getting his wife out of the sentence. Marissa says Liza
likes him, Liza corrects that she respects him. Finally Liza admits that she
likes Zach.

Kendall finally realizes Zach has someone posing as her in the Prison. Zach
explains she will turn away Visitors. Kendall reiterates 15 years, and who would
volunteer to go to Prison that long? Zach says it will not be that long, weeks,
maybe months…just until they can prove Kendall is innocent. She says she will
not go along with it. Zach informs her she can not leave. Kendall looks at him
and says “so I’m your prisoner?”

Jesse goes to see Adam and Annie. Adam defends the phone Jesse is holding and
says Annie misses her daughter, which is not a crime. Jesse says the calls are a
violation of Court Order. Adam explains that he is engaged and his first present
will be to “get her out from underneath all of the charges.” Jesse asks how he
will do that and Adam reminds him he is a “very resourceful man.”

David and Scott are at the bar. David says he is happy he saw Scott with Marissa
in her room. Scott says he was there as a friend, “that’s all we’ll ever be.”
David responds “I wouldn’t be so definitive. That could change.” Scott says he
can’t pull off the whole “Price of Darkness” thing, that he had a better chance
working his way up from “friend.” Scott says David has the “whole Prince of
Darkness thing going on.” David looks at him puzzled and Scott says “How about
giving me some pointers?”

Kendall is trying to get out of the Panic Room as Zach explains that Annie
thinks Kendall is in prison and she will let her guard down. Once she slips they
will have her. Kendall says she won’t go along with it. Zach warns that if she
goes anywhere he and Jesse will be in trouble. Kendall says she will say she
escaped on her own. There is a buzz and Kendall asks what it is. Zach says the
room is soundproof and that means someone as at the door. Kendall stares in
disbelief that he will get the door, but he explains his car is outside and he
does not want anyone to get suspicious. He tells her to think about it. Then he
sighs and leaves her in the room.

Liza is not happy with Zach or the fact that it took him so long to answer the
door. He is agitated and says the boys are trying to sleep. Liza tells him about
Erica at the Prison and how Kendall will not see anyone. Zach is too calm for
Liza to accept and she says she will not give up and she needs his
“cooperation.” Zach tells Liza she is good at what she does not need him. Liza
says he owes her for saving Kendall's life “payback starts now.”

Kendall is looking around the room when she hears a cute voice coming from
somewhere. She finds a baby monitor and immediately tries to talk to Spike.

Erica shows up at Ryan’s door and is frantic about the fact Kendall does not
want to see them. She explains what happened and says she does not understand
how everyone is so calm. Ryan says that maybe they have to accept this is what
Kendall wants. Erica tells him he sounds like Zach. Ryan says maybe he does but
Erica used to want him to stay away from their marriage and he will continue to
stay away. Erica says he has to help Kendall. Ryan retorts “no I don’t.”

David tell Scott in order for him to be a “badass” he has to only think of
himself. He must not let anything in his way, only thinking of himself. Scott
says David gets what he wants though. David then says in a non-David tone
“Sometimes. But then there are those mornings that you wake up regretting the
bad choices, the carnage, body count. And then there are those days that you
swear that you're gonna change: Do good, be a better person, live and let live.
But, you see, here's the thing. Once it's in you, you can't stop. You got to
feed the fire that's in your gut. That same fire that burns you and everyone
else around you. The upshot? You end up alone sharing a beer with people that
don't like you very much.” Scott looks at him and says “thanks for nothing.”

Annie comes out of the den jumping around in her bathing suit, completely
jubilant and tells Adam she passed. Dr. Nolan says he will put in his report she
passed. He leaves and Jesse congratulates them. Adam says everything is going to
be fine for her. Annie adds “for us.”

Erica says that she thought she could count on Ryan. He says she can but he went
to Zach and their marriage was none of their business. He has to think of Emma.
Erica says no court would give her to Annie. Ryan tells her the news that she is
engaged to Adam, “and she has the boulder on her finger to prove it.” Erica says
everyone has gone mad and she does not know where to start or how to fix it.
Ryan says, “maybe you can’t, maybe you just do nothing.”

Liza pleads with Zach they have to try to get Kendall out before the boys go off
to college. He agrees to help but says he does not want the boys around it. They
agree to meet in the morning. Zach shuts the door as Liza is still trying to
comfort him.

Zach goes back into the room with Kendall and is pleased that she is affected by
the sounds of the boys. She says she wants to see them, she wants to hold them.
He says she will but not now, “We have to lay a foundation.” He says the boys
can see her but people have to think it is their imagination that Kendall is
there. Kendall says “so I’ll be their imaginary mom? You think that will work?”

Ryan is watching an updated version of “Rumba to Romance.” He mutes the TV and
calls Erica. Erica is in her bed watching the classic version of the same movie.
Ryan says he just wanted to apologize. Erica tells him she is watching one of
her favorite Classics. Ryan says he is watching the one on TV. Erica says the
original is better. Ryan agrees “originals usually are.” They say goodnight and
hang up the phones.

Liza goes back to see Marissa and tells her she went to see Zach and he agreed
to help her with the Appeal. Liza points out all of the reasons she is not
preoccupied with her crush on Zach. She lists Colby and the baby, as well as her
career. Marissa says “yeah, you’ll get over it.” Liza says their conversations
have been unprofessional and she hopes Marissa will keep them between them.
Marissa says “absolutely.” Liza leaves Marissa’s hospital room and says she has
to work on the appeal.

Zach takes Kendall up to the boys’ room and she holds them. She tells them she
is home. Zach tells her this is how it could be. Kendall does not like the idea
of being an imaginary mom. Zach tells her to give him time to prove that she is
innocent.

Annie and Adam continue to celebrate that she will be free soon. They go to open
a bottle of champagne and the popping noise reminds him of the gunshot. Adam
exclaims “Oh my God, Stuart?”

David shows up at Liza’s door. She asks what he is doing there. He responds
“something we will both regret in the morning.” He passionately kisses her.

Annie asks Adam if it is his heart. He says he overdid it and needs to lie down.
He leaves the room. Annie is seductively sitting in a chair drinking champagne.
Scott enters the room and says it is “hotter than…” Annie looks at him and says
“want some?” Scott takes off his shirt. Annie is stunned. Then he takes his
pants off. Annie asks what he is doing and Scott runs to the pool.

The movie that Erica and Ryan are watching is at it’s end. The lines speak of
love and romance. Erica looks at the phone. She turns off her TV and goes to
bed. Ryan looks like he is pontificating calling as he lies on his couch.

Kendall cradles Ian and tells him he is okay. “Momma’s never gonna leave you
again.”
